Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a holding container, and more specifically, it is used to house and compress ham when the ham in a fluid state is heated and solidified. It relates to a convenient holding container.

Conventionally, containers used to heat ham in a fluid state to solidify it have been made of elongated mesh plates, with a lid hinged at one end, as shown in Figure 1, for example. 1, put one ham in a fluid state through the opening 2, and then close the lid 1 again.A tabular pressing inner lid (not shown) attached to the lid 1 presses the ham. It was being done.

In such a structure, the elongated ham must be pressed in the longitudinal direction, which not only makes it difficult to apply uniform pressure inside the ham, but also requires a large pressing force on the inner lid.

Furthermore, when compressing an elongated ham in the longitudinal direction, the thin film surrounding the ham tends to wrinkle, degrading the appearance of the product.

Furthermore, it is difficult to remove the ham after solidification.

This is because the solidified ham is in close contact with the inner surface of the container, and in order to take out the long and thin ham in the longitudinal direction, it must be slid out a long distance. This is thought to be due to the large contact area.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a holding container that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional examples as described above.

That is, according to the present invention, there is provided a pair of end plate portions, a pair of elongated side plate portions that connect the end plate portions, and one bottom plate portion, and the end plate portion and the side plate portion are provided on the side opposite to the bottom plate portion. An elongated container having a defined elongated opening, a locking pin member attached to the outside of each end plate portion, a longitudinal member having hooks pivotally attached to both ends thereof for locking to the locking pin members, and a longitudinal section thereof. A holding container is provided which compresses and retains its contents, comprising an elongate lid attached to the member and spring biased away from the longitudinal member to fit substantially snugly within the opening of the container.

In a holding container having such a structure, since the elongated ham is pushed in the transverse direction, the pushing force is small, and furthermore,
The lid extending in the longitudinal direction of the ham makes it easy to apply a uniform force inside the ham, and since it pushes the ham in the transverse direction, the possibility of wrinkles in the ham is extremely small.

Furthermore, the solidified ham is in close contact with the end plate portion and the side plate portion, but since it is only taken out in the transverse direction, the distance to slide it out is shorter than with conventional ones.
In addition, the sides of the ham are in contact only on three sides, and the bottom of the ham is easily separated from the bottom plate, making it easier to take it out of the container because the contact area is smaller compared to conventional ones. can.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the holding container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a partially sectional front view, FIG. 3 is an end view, and FIG. 4 is a top view of an embodiment of the holding container according to the present invention.

The illustrated holding container has a pair of end plate portions 10 , a pair of elongated side plate portions 12 and a bottom plate portion 14 connecting the end plate portions 10 , and an end plate portion 10 and a side plate portion on the side opposite the bottom plate portion 14 . an elongated container 18 having an elongated opening 16 defined by 12 and a U-shaped bracket attached to the outside of each end plate section 10; a channel-shaped longitudinal member 28 having a hook 24 pivotally attached to both ends via pins 26; and an elongated lid 32 attached to the longitudinal member 28 and biased by a spring 30 in a direction away from the longitudinal member 28. Equipped with:

The lid 32 is large enough to fit almost perfectly into the opening 16 of the container 18, and both sides 34 are
The corner 36 between the side plate portion and the bottom plate portion of the container 18 is also curved.

A channel-shaped metal fitting 38 extending in the longitudinal direction is welded to the center of the upper part of the lid 32, and female screws 40 are vertically welded to two places on the upper part of the metal fitting 38. A bolt 42 is screwed into the hole provided in the vertical member 28 so as to sandwich the bolt 42 between the bolts.

Furthermore, a hole 44 is provided in the bottom of the container 18, if necessary.

Further, the hook 24 can be made inexpensive by using a solid hook formed in the shape shown in the figure.

Each member mentioned above is preferably made of stainless steel.

If made of stainless steel, it is convenient in terms of heat resistance, container cleaning, and sterilization.

The holding container as described above is used as follows.

First, remove the hook 24 from the pin 22 and attach the lid 32 to the container 18.
For example, the ham in a fluid state is placed in the container 18.

After that, the lid 32 is closed again and the vertical member 28 is attached to the spring 30.
Push against this to lock the hook 24 to the pin 22 and close the lid.

The lid 32, which is thus pushed downwardly by the spring 30 against the longitudinal member 28, which is latched to the container 18 by the hook 22, pushes the elongated ham transversely, so that the spring 30
Only a small pressing force is required, and furthermore, the cover 32 extending in the longitudinal direction of the ham makes it easy to apply a uniform force to the inside of the ham, and since it is pressed in the transverse direction, the possibility of wrinkles in the ham is extremely small. .

Furthermore, the solidified ham is in close contact with the end plate part 10 and the side plate part 12, but since it is only taken out in the transverse direction, the distance to slide it out is shorter than in the conventional method. The sides of the ham are in contact with each other only on three sides, and the bottom of the sides is immediately separated from the bottom plate part 14, and the contact area is smaller than that of the conventional one, so you can simply turn the ham down to the container. It can be easily taken out.

The hole 44 at the bottom maintains the space formed between the ham and the container equal to atmospheric pressure when the ham is removed, making it easier to remove the solidified ham.

Note that the longitudinal member 28 can be used as a handle.

The embodiment described above is for a ham with an approximately square cross section, as shown in FIG. It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the cross-sectional shape of the lower half and the bottom plate portion of the base plate may be semicircular.

Further, the container 18 may be integrally formed by press working, or the end plates, side plates, and bottom plate may be welded.
